Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 54 Xiaoqing
The rat demon looked at Xiaoqing in front of him, and the more he looked, the more angry he became.

In addition to cats, snakes are also natural enemies of mice.

What's more, Xiaoqing has also transformed into a human form.

Xiaoqing accompanied Fan Shiyi to save Qinghe County and was almost crushed to death by the mountain.

This life-and-death situation, especially knowing that Fan Shiyi was a girl, was too great a blow to Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing had an epiphany instantly, she broke through to the seventh level and transformed into a human.

Of course, this is also thanks to Zhou Ping's abundant yang energy.

After Xiaoqing turned into a human form, she was afraid that something might happen to Fan Shiyi and Zhou Ping in the tunnel, so she hurried over.

Zhou Ping tried to stand up, but he was seriously injured.

Yuan Gong and other escorts helped Zhou Ping up.

Zhou Ping's injury was not serious and he would be able to recover after a few days of rest.

"Zhou Ping, who is this girl? You seem to know her?"

Mr. Yuan asked in a low voice.

"That dragon fairy."

Zhou Ping didn't dare to say snake, but said dragon.

Xiaoqing glanced at Zhou Ping.

"You are still more pleasing to the ear."

Xiaoqing stopped smiling.

There was shock in the eyes of Yuan Gong and others.

That day, the mountains pressed down on Qinghe County.

Everyone saw a green snake shadow carrying the mountain.

Mr. Yuan didn't expect that Zhou Ping actually knew this immortal, and from what Xiaoqing said, it seemed that Xiaoqing was very familiar with Zhou Ping.

Engineer Yuan looked at Xiaoqing in front of him and suddenly his eyes widened.

Snake, human, could it be that the girl in front of him is also a seventh-grade demon!
Engineer Yuan looked at Zhou Ping, and Zhou Ping nodded.

"Everyone, please stand back and don't disturb Miss Xiaoqing."

Zhou Ping retreated slowly, as he was afraid that if the two monsters fought, innocent people would be affected.

"What the hell? Die!"

The rat demon couldn't see through Xiaoqing, but the fear in his blood made him take the first step.

A huge phantom of the rat demon's soul appeared on his body.

The shadow of the soul bit Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing also did not move, and at the same time, a huge phantom of the green snake spirit appeared on her body.

The green snake phantom let out a huge roar at the rat demon phantom.

About ten breaths passed.

The phantom on Xiaoqing disappeared, and the phantom on the rat demon also disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the rat demon's body fell to the ground, and then, the rat demon's body turned into ashes and disappeared.

Rat demon, dead.

Zhou Ping, Yuan Gong and others were stunned.

Is this the power of the seventh rank?
Such a difficult rat demon was killed so easily.

"Xiaoqing, I owe you my life again."

Fan Shiyi came to Xiaoqing, took Xiaoqing's hand, and touched her all over.

"Ah, raising you for so many years has consumed so much of my yang energy, and now you have finally become a human being."

Fan Shiyi was grinning foolishly in front of Xiaoqing, touching his hands and waist, and wanted to go further.

"Get lost, disgusting!"

Xiaoqing changed its human form into a small snake, and then crawled onto Zhou Ping's neck.

Xiaoqing was rescued by Fan Shiyi when she was very young. At that time, Fan Shiyi already had a magic weapon to conceal his female identity.

Xiaoqing didn't know that Fan Shiyi was a girl, and Fan Shiyi never told her.

Xiaoqing has been waiting to become a human to repay her gratitude.

Who knew that Fan Shiyi was also a girl.

Xiaoqing doesn't like women, but her sexual orientation is normal.

"Well, forget it if you don't let me touch you."

"Zhou Ping, from now on, you play mine and I play yours."

Fan Shiyi stroked Xiaobai.

Xiaobai didn't know whether he was too tired or he was digesting the pills, but he felt dizzy. He fell asleep in Fan Shiyi's hand.

Fan Shiyi took the opportunity to masturbate again and again.

Zhou Ping's mouth twitched slightly.

"Brother, what do you mean by you play with mine and I play with yours?"

"It's obviously your snake that's playing with me, and you want to play with my cat."

Zhou Ping didn't dare to say much, as he couldn't afford to offend Fan Shiyi and Xiaoqing.

The exit of the tunnel.

There is a light not far away.

Captain Leng was accompanied by five yamen runners, and everyone's faces were filled with surprise at having escaped death.

These five days were truly dangerous.

Captain Leng brought nineteen yamen runners with him, but now only five of them followed him.

"Do you know what I said?"

Along the way, Captain Leng had already coordinated the words with his men.

The yamen runners' mission was to bring food to Qingyuan County to help the victims, but they lost the food.

Although there were rat monsters blocking the road, the few people survived but lost their food. For this crime, they must be stripped of their official positions and spend a few years in prison.

So Captain Leng and a few of his men worked out the words.

"Lengtou, we will say that we fought to the death, but there were too many rats and the people from the escort agency had no guts to escape, so we had no choice but to give up the food."

"Yes, yes, it's not that we are incapable, it's that the enemy is too strong, and the people in the escort agency are too afraid of death."

The yamen runners had already memorized this set of words by heart.

This is half true and half false.

The rat demon was indeed strong, but the people from the escort agency were not afraid of death.

However, in order to show the bravery of the yamen runners, they had to step on the people from the escort agency.

In the opinion of Captain Leng and several of his runners, the grain transport convoy must have been wiped out and Fan Shiyi must have been dead as well.

The few of them exchanged words for a while, then walked through the tunnel entrance.

When they came out of the tunnel, several yamen runners were stunned.

Qingyuan County was originally a flat land, but now it has become a lake.

A boundless lake with no boundaries.

"Did a top-rank master beat him like this?"

A bailiff exclaimed.

Several first-class righteous people besieged the Demon Lord, and a fierce battle broke out in Qingyuan County.

The mountains and water that fell from the sky in Qinghe County were all affected by this unprecedented war.

Qinghe County was almost destroyed, not to mention Qingyuan County where several masters were fighting.

Qingyuan County turned into a lake.

The original place no longer exists, and now there is only a lake.

Fortunately, some righteous people rescued some people at that time, so the entire county was not wiped out.

Even so, nearly ten thousand people were killed or injured that night.

Captain Leng and his men were shocked for a long time before they calmed down.

"People from Qinghe County are here."

Someone shouted, and then suddenly a large group of people appeared.

These people were dressed in rags, looked pale and thin, and it was obvious that they had been hungry for many days.

Some people still had injuries.

These people, young and old, all looked at Captain Leng and his group with pity.

At the front of the team was the magistrate of Qingyuan County, Chen, who was wearing his official robes.

Behind County Magistrate Chen are some local wise men and wealthy people, and behind the wealthy people are the victims.

"Master Leng, you are finally here. We have been looking forward to it for the past few days."

County Magistrate Chen had seen Captain Leng before and recognized him.

"Master Leng, where is the food?"

Lord Chen didn't bother to be polite and went straight to the point.

So many people are staring at their food.

These days, people die every day!

If people in Qingyuan County continue to die like this, he will no longer have a job as the county magistrate and will soon be left alone.

"Master Chen, there is no more food."

Captain Leng was heartbroken. He shook his injured arm and prepared to play the victim.

"We encountered monsters on the road. We fought desperately. The people from the escort agency were really bad. They..."

Before Captain Leng finished speaking, the victims began to get angry.

"Where's the food? Where's the food? Where's the food?"

The victims rushed into the tunnel without hesitation, dispersing Captain Leng and his men. "Don't rob, don't rob."

County Magistrate Chen tried hard to stabilize the situation, but no one listened to him.

The disaster victims were in chaos.

In the tunnel, the people from the escort agency were cleaning up the mess.

The people from the escort agency gathered the dead rats together and burned them.

Zhou Ping was squatting by the underground river, looking at the scattered food.

Although these scattered grains are small, they are also crucial.

Who knows, this handful of food might be able to save several lives.

Therefore, the people from the escort agency were also picking up the scattered food.

"What are you looking at?"

Fan Shiyi asked.

"I think this is weird?"

Zhou Ping sensed something was wrong the first time the rat demon attacked them, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"What's weird about that?"

Fan Shiyi kept stroking Xiaobai. Xiaobai had woken up, but did not look for Zhou Ping.

Xiaoqing was clinging to Zhou Ping.

Xiaobai might be jealous or afraid of Xiaoqing, so he didn't run to Zhou Ping.

"The first time the rat demon attacked us, it only hurt people but didn't steal our food."

"The rat demon attacked us for the second time, just wanting to steal our food."

"This is our third battle with the rat demon, and its target is still food."

"For a demon, is it necessary to take such a big risk to steal food?"

Zhou Ping said.

Fan Shiyi nodded, and she also felt that what Zhou Ping said made sense. She didn't expect Zhou Ping to be so cautious and even think of this.

It is mainly the world in which Zhou Ping originally lived. With thousands of years of history accumulated, ordinary people all know a little about history.

"The granary is on fire."

Zhou Ping seemed to have thought of something. He came to the grain carriage and opened the sack.

Zhou Ping fumbled for a while, then his face turned grim. He finally figured it out.

There is grain in the sack, but not all of it is grain.

Only about 30% of the sack was food, and the rest was
Sure enough, the routine is the same.

Zhou Ping had seen this scene in a TV series.

The government's grain was taken away by some officials, and then stones were mixed into the grain.

This is a relatively conscientious operation, at least it is fake.

Some of them simply secretly transported the food out.

Once the higher-ups come to inspect, just burn it down.

Zhou Ping suddenly realized at this moment.

Zhou Ping told everyone about his discovery.

The people in the escort agency were furious.

Fan Shiyi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The disaster victims in Qingyuan County are waiting for food, but now they only have 30% of the food.

"The magistrate of Qinghe County really deserves to be killed!"

"Once we get out of the tunnel, I'll report him and expose his crimes!"

Fan Shiyi was very angry, but he was more worried about the victims.

"30% of the food is mixed with stones. How can we help the victims?"

What Fan Shiyi was most worried about at this time was the issue of saving people.

Fan Shiyi was a Confucian of the fourth grade. He studied the classics, history, and literature, and learned how to save people.

But now there is not enough food, what should we do?

“Maybe this is a good thing.”

Zhou Ping said.

"What's good about that? We have no food left, how can we save people?"

Fan Shiyi couldn't help but get angry at Zhou Ping.

Fan Shiyi wasn't targeting anyone, but she was very angry and needed an outlet.

Zhou Ping was not angry either.

"When the food for disaster relief arrives in Qingyuan County, it has to go through the government and be extorted at every level. I don't know how much of it will reach the hands of the disaster victims."

"Although the food is mixed with stones, we can ensure that the food reaches the victims."

"Some people would not like this kind of grain mixed with stones."

Zhou Ping said it very tactfully. What he meant was that officials and businessmen looked down on the grain mixed with stones, so all the grain would go to the victims.

If all the food was good, a large portion of it would be embezzled by some corrupt officials.

When Fan Shiyi heard Zhou Ping's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Zhou Ping could actually think of such a deep level.

Fan Shiyi knew that the officialdom was corrupt, and he also knew that some of the grain would definitely be embezzled.

But Fan Shiyi didn't expect that Zhou Ping's thinking was so clear.

"You are right. Corrupt officials and local gentry will find ways to embezzle grain."

"But there are stones in the grain, and they will look down on it."

"It takes a lot of effort just to pick out the food."

Fan Shiyi calmed down. She looked at Zhou Ping and felt that the man in front of her was very different, different from all the men she had come into contact with.

"Dry!"

Fan Shiyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's not easy."

"Zhou Ping, you have to know that Fan Shiyi is very arrogant and never takes anyone seriously, especially men."

"I've been following her for many years and I've never seen her look at people like this."

Xiaoqing said from the side.

Zhou Ping laughed.

"I just said that to comfort Master Fan."

The tunnel entrance in Qinghe County.

Captain Leng and his men were dressed very revealingly.

Not only Captain Leng, but County Magistrate Chen was also dressed very revealingly.

Several people's clothes can cover three points.

"Captain Leng, are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

County Magistrate Chen still refused to give up. He still felt that Captain Leng was teasing him.

Just now, the disaster victims rioted and beat up County Magistrate Chen and Captain Leng.

Although Captain Leng is skilled in martial arts, a good tiger cannot fight against a pack of wolves, nor can he withstand a large number of people.

County Magistrate Chen chased Captain Leng and asked him questions for a long time, but Captain Leng just shook his head.

County Magistrate Chen finally gave up hope.

County Magistrate Chen burst into tears.

"Food, it's food."

The disaster victims who were standing still suddenly shouted.

Tunnel entrance.

The escort agency forced the grain transport convoy out.

Fan Shiyi led the group, with Zhou Ping and Yuan Gong on either side of her.

The victims rushed over in a swarm.

Captain Leng was full of disbelief. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed again that it was Fan Shiyi and others.

Fan Shiyi and Zhou Ping were still alive, and they brought a grain transport convoy out with them.

County Magistrate Chen, who was crying loudly, saw the grain transport convoy. His eyes lit up and he crawled to the front of the convoy.

In an instant, the entrance to the tunnel was completely blocked.

If the tunnel hadn't been so narrow, the victims would have come to grab food.

"County Magistrate Chen, the Yan Family Escort Agency will deliver the food safely."

Engineer Yuan spoke up.

Fan Shiyi frowned slightly, then with a stroke of his brush, he painted an official robe for County Magistrate Chen.

"Thank you, escort, and thank you, Master Fan Shiyi."

County Magistrate Chen bowed down before the grain transport convoy.

Not only that, the people and victims throughout Qingyuan County also began to kneel down and worship.

"Thank you, escort, and thank you, Master Fan Shiyi."

"Thank you, escort, and thank you, Master Fan Shiyi."

"Thank you, escort, and thank you, Master Fan Shiyi."

The Qingyuan County was filled with cheers and cries of gratitude.
